It's Time for Halloween in Racine

Racine Trick or Treat 2014

Halloween is almost here, and if you've got kids that means one very important thing: Trick or Treating! Yes, it's that time of year when the young people dress up like their favorite Disney character or animal or monster and go all around the neighborhood asking for candy. A strange ritual to outsiders, maybe, but for us it's just the grand tradition of Halloween! So, when is the Racine Trick or Treat 2014? We'll let you know, along with a few tips to keep health in perspective during these sugar-laden days.  Too much of a good thing can be... not that good. Alright, so when is the Racine Trick or Treating going to take place for 2014? It'll be held on Halloween day (10/31) this year, which falls on a Friday, and will take place from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. During this time, take your trick-or-treaters around your own or another neighborhood (maybe you've already scoped out which areas have the opportunities in previous years!) and enjoy an evening of costumes and candy. Speaking of candy... are you a little concerned about the sugar rush, sugar crash, and sick stomachs that tend to result from the annual candy gorge that is Halloween? We'll give you some tips for keeping it in check.   Safety tip: Add reflective tape to dark costumes while Trick or Treating! First of all, we might be crazy but we think a single all-out candy binge -- perhaps the evening of the 31st after getting home to check over and sort out all the candy -- is acceptable. It's a sort of rite of passage, and one that seems to bear repeating year after year. From that point on, though, it's perfectly okay to ration candy for kids who will mow it all down in a few day's time no matter what the quantity. Be sure to serve extra-healthy meals and snacks during the Halloween fallout to counter all the candy consumption. Also, don't forget important hygiene practices like hand-washing and teeth-brushing -- they're especially crucial with all contact with strangers and sugar consumption. We wish everyone in and around Racine a safe and happy Halloween in 2014!
